The academy has over 200 video lessons, mini games and tools to help you make more progress between lessons/clubs. It also has awards, coins and fans to unlock, a customisable rockstar character to upgrade as you go and the option to add friends.

Team Projects And Live Performances
Students spend their times in clubs and lessons working towards their grades, their personal interests in music and towards out stage performances. Here they get a feel for the community, grow their confidence and get some real stage experience.
There are also team projects that come up regularly. These are about supporting each other, pushing ourselves and making the most out of the community of guitarists we have at The Guitar Ninja. These will be open to all members and will include writing, recording and other skills that go alongside playing the guitar. (We will support you in these as much as possible so don’t worry if they seem overwhelming right now, these are the best parts of the community)
YouTube Channel
There is The Guitar Ninja YouTube channel. If you’re not subscribed to it yet, head over. There are loads of lesson videos, backing tracks, tips, and general entertaining videos along with business updates. Some of the project may even go up here as long as everyone involved wants them to go live. You could even end up as a guest on the channel.
Community (Whatsapp Groups)
To keep the community alive we have a few different whatsapp groups. Firstly, there’s the most important “TGN – All contacts” This is only used for important updates and doesn’t allow responses so messages don’t get lost. Please stay in the group even if you leave the others. This is used as little as possible so it is only important things and no spam messaging.
Secondly, there is a group for each club, this will be used a little more often and has the option for questions and replies etc.
Thirdly there is a ‘The Ninjas’ group. This is open to all students who show passion about their playing. Every student is welcome to join. It is a supportive group about sharing love and passion and is a more active group than any of the others.
Shop Discounts
We also have a stock of spares and accessories for the guitar. This includes: strings, jackleads, plectrums, capos, tuners, spare electronics and more. All members get 10% off anything in the store that is not already discounted.
Guitar Workbooks
The best tool in the world to support your learning is a decent notebook for everything you learn. The guitar workbook has been specifically designed to include all forms of guitar related templates along with a blank contents page to fill in as you complete the book. This way you can keep all your notes in one place and find them all quickly. These can be purchased directly from Amazon using this link:

While in stock I have some first prints available for £5 each to those who see me in person each week (saving £2.99).
Look The Part
Last but not least if you want to look the part at the clubs, during the challenges, performances or just show off that you are a guitar ninja yourself, you can get your very own guitar ninja t-shirts and hoodies. T-shirts come in all grading colours and both adult and kid sizes.
You can order these via amazon using this link:

Or can be found on the ‘Merch’ page on The Guitar Ninja website (www.theguitarninja.co.uk)
The Guitar Ninja Grades
We also offer the most fun way to grade in the guitar world. Just as a ninja would grade through coloured belts until they become a black belt. We guitar ninjas grade through coloured guitar strap until we become a black strap at guitar! The gradings run: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black.
When you pass your grade you will receive an official Guitar Ninja strap, plectrum and badge representing your new grade colour. None of these items are on sale or available elsewhere. The only way to acquire them is to pass the grade. Grades are charged on top of the lessons but the fees include all pass materials.
